Chapter 219: Things that are very common in the futur

Seeing Andrew's hesitating expression, if Grosvenor hadn't walked over, Li Changheng couldn't wait to punch him in the face.

"Go back to you to settle the account."

After adjusting his suit, Li Changheng smiled and stretched out his hand, and said to Grosvenor, who had a face-to-face conversation, "Good morning, Your Excellency."

Grosvenor, who has just graduated from high school, probably has been staying at his manor and rarely sees strangers.

Or seeing Li Changheng pat Andrew's cheek with his hand just now.

I immediately thought of what he knew from nobles such as Bell, Jeffrey, and Feld, that Li Changheng would use boxing matches, playing ball and other reasons when he was angry, and he would beat people at the right opportunity.

As soon as I grasped Li Changheng's hand, I didn't care about my identity as a duke. To shake hands is also the etiquette to extend my hand first, "Good morning, good morning, Henry, you still call me Lald like Andrew and the others."

"Well, Lard".

Looking at the future ahead, Grosvenor, the richest man in England, will become the richest man in England just by the value of land.

Li Changheng couldn't help sighing that there is a technique in this world called reincarnation, and the person you can't envy is the young man in front of him.

In the next two decades, due to the continuous regression of national power, although England has developed very well in industries such as finance, real estate, and shipping, the income of employees in manufacturing and service workers has continued to decline.

As a result, the richer the richer, and the proletarian and low-income citizens are getting poorer and poorer. The number of unemployed in the East End and the Old City of London has increased year by year, and public security has become chaotic.

Many high-income earners in these two urban areas have all moved to the West and North areas to live, which has stimulated the increase in land prices in these two areas year by year.

The most profitable of this is of course the Grosvenor family, which owns a large area of ​​land and real estate in the West End.

In the future, the value of this young nobleman will soar from the current £200 million to more than 9 billion.

Not to mention directly outperforming inflation, but also turning the Grosvenor family, which has always been a local owner in England, into a multinational company with real estate all over the world.

Fortunately, thinking that his wealth at this time was all earned by himself, Li Changheng instantly felt that the Grosvenor family was just like that.

"Charles should have told you the purpose of my inviting you to meet?"

Grosvenor nodded, "Henry, before the negotiation, I want to apologize first, so as not to affect our friendship."

Li Changheng smiled and nodded, suddenly realizing that it is not so easy to buy land.

Grosvenor rationalized his thoughts, and said with some embarrassment, "Although London's economy is sluggish, you know that the land owned by the Grosvenor family has been passed down for more than three hundred years.

Regardless of the economic boom or the era when a large number of buildings in the West District were bombed during the Second World War, we never thought about selling land, so I can only say sorry. "

"You don't need to apologize," Li Changheng smiled and took out a piece of paper that was not thick, stacked upright, from the pocket of his suit.

"This is a copy of the patent certificate of the induction cooker. This electronic product that can be heated without flames is not only suitable for any pots, hot water boilers, and the cost is almost the same as that of the current liquefied gas stoves.

Moreover, for those urban areas without gas pipes, this new type of stove will definitely become their first choice. "

"Are there any real objects?"

This kind of kitchen utensils that many families are unwilling to use in the future is definitely a bit of a black technology in this era.

The more novel things are, the more attractive they are to Grosvenor, who is only 18 years old.

Of course, attraction is only the first step. When he sees that he can really cook steak in a pot, stew mashed potatoes, or make coffee without a fire.

Maybe treat the induction cooker like a smart phone.

As for the side effects of being within 40 cm of the induction cooker for a long time, no one cares about it in this era.

"Steven," Li Changheng threw the car key to the opponent, "Help me bring the picnic box in the trunk, thank you."

Bringing Andrew and Grosvenor to the timekeeper on the side of the runway, Steven quickly set up the folding table with three bodyguards.

Li Changheng took out an induction cooker from a paper box and instantly surprised the bodyguards like Andrew, Grosvenor, and even Steven.

Since it is used for display, of course it should be good-looking, beautiful and concise.

Just a 40 by 40 cm thick glass block on the top layer makes everyone's eyes bright.

Although there is no touch screen, it is only a manual rotary switch, which makes people feel simple, convenient and easy to understand.

Put the small steel kettle in the middle of the glass, inside the circle drawn intentionally, Li Changheng unscrewed a glass bottle of mineral water into the kettle, and turned on the induction cooker.

Raising his left hand, looking at the second hand of the watch while timing, he said to Steven, "Help me and Annie, I'm making coffee."

"Yes sir".

Three minutes later, the kettle with only 800 cents of life began to emit white mist, and the 20-year-old Andrew and the 18-year-old Grosvenor repeatedly exclaimed.

It took only ten minutes for Li Changheng to not only make coffee, but also make two strawberry pies for 8 people. Annie also ran over on horseback.

Jumping off his horse, coming through the gap in the fence, he saw Li Changheng putting the pies on the dinner plate and bringing the coffee to him.

"Thank you," Annie kissed Li Changheng's face with a big smile, took a sip of coffee, and greeted Grosvenor.

"Good morning, Ralph."

"Good morning, your highness."

With a ready-made induction cooker as a demonstration, Grosvenor thought silently in his heart that this new kitchen utensil can sell better than LPG stoves and household oil stoves by reducing the probability of fire.

He took Andrew to the side and whispered for a long time, then apologized to interrupt Li Changheng and Annie who were crooked together.

"Henry, how much does this product cost?"

"For mass production ~lightnovelpub.net~ the cheapest induction cooker should be controlled within 4 pounds. As for the luxury version," Li Changheng shrugged, "It depends on what is called luxury, but the cost of this induction cooker is 30 GBP.

Industrialization and mass production should be able to drop to 20 pounds. "

Grosvenor didn't care about the deluxe version or the customized version of the induction cooker. He thought about it and said, "The cost of £4 is a bit expensive."

Li Changheng smiled and shrugged. As soon as Grosvenor spoke, he knew that this kid was belittling and lowering prices.

"Twenty-fifth of the monthly income per capita in London is not expensive, and as long as the European and American markets are opened, it is not difficult to sell one million units a year."

"And you have to understand, Larder, I sell patents. When you feel that you can't produce them, you can authorize the patents to manufacturers in various countries.

While you are a manufacturer yourself, you can also charge royalties.

Not to mention, it is easy to make millions of pounds a year. "

"Then why don't you do it yourself?"
